@Trooper49 @Lythe’s offer for accommodation is very generous xx
This link is more ‘cancer patient’ specific accommodation and often right on the hospital site, so no need to drive to treatment as usually it is daily, so being close by is a bonus. It also links you to the Queensland Government’s Patient Travel Subsidy Scheme (PTSS), to limit out of pocket expenses for patients re petrol and accommodation. I used the NSW equivalent and it was terrific.
